Junior Achievement Cyprus (JA Cyprus) has announced the continuation of its efforts to foster entrepreneurial ideas and innovation among students through the JA StartUp Program.

The program provides students with the opportunity to develop their own companies while acquiring skills that will support their future careers. It is offered free of charge to all university students in Cyprus and is held annually with the participation of over 20,000 students across Europe, according to a statement from JA Cyprus.

Participants also have the chance to compete in the National Competition, where the top six teams present their business ideas to a live audience and a panel of judges. The winning team will represent Cyprus at Gen-E, Europe's largest entrepreneurship event, which will be held this year in Athens.
